Weekend getaways are always better with a good beer, or 10. If you’re craving a change of scenery, follow your taste buds up to Los Angeles for the Craft Beer Crawl this weekend.

Now in its third year, the Craft Beer Crawl will pour through the streets of downtown L.A. on Saturday, August 18. It’s a casual event for serious drinkers, as the afternoon will tour you around seven bars to sample 50 different craft beers. Your entry ticket gets you unlimited beer tastings for four straight hours.

On the lineup of crawl destinations are Seven Grand, Cole’s, Broadway Bar, Caña Rum Bar, Casey’s Irish Pub, Las Perlas and Golden Gopher, all located within walking distance. As for the beer, the menu features a range of Southern California and international breweries, including a few of San Diego’s best. The bars will serve Ballast Point, Stone and Green Flash, as well as Hangar 24, Black Market, Drake’s, Duvel, Firestone, Kinetic, Allagash, Cismontane, Ladyface, Telegraph, Monkish, New Belgium and more.

Insider Tip: When crawling through Cole’s, make sure to order one of their signature French dip sandwiches. This recently renovated historic restaurant is dark and full of character, paying homage to the prohibition era. After you grub, head to the back and beg your way into Varnish, a speakeasy serving craft cocktails. You may also recognize Seven Grand, a whiskey den that just opened a San Diego location in North Park.

The L.A. Craft Beer Crawl is presented by Cedd Moses of 213 Ventures Inc. and ‘The Beer Chicks’ Hallie Beaune and Christine Perozzi. The walking tour is from 3 to 7pm this Saturday. General admission tickets start at $54 per person. For more info, visit lacraftbeercrawl.com.
